eghh I'm rarely proud to be an American, especially with potato head like BUSH running the country...abd by the way I believe it's "concieted"
and yeah, ther's a bigger market for rap here in the U.S. plus that's where pretty much all known ass rappers are from...that doesn't mean that rappers are just in it for money, but popularity of most rappers and noteriety of them, is based on what they've done in the U.S. because it's essentially Hip Hop's home...
the U.S. is the Indie500 of rap, the Kentucky Derby, the Major Leagues, the NBA
all those stupid and or played out ass analogies and comparisons
